According to TMZ.com, Marilyn Manson was suffering from the flu when he collapsed and vomited onstage near the end of his set in concert in Saskatchewan, Canada this past Wednesday night (Feb. 6). The singer was apparently “feeling like crap” all day, but still wanted to go on with the show. After hitting the stage, Manson started feeling worse and vomited several times before collapsing in the middle of the song “Beautiful People”. He fell backward onto the stage, at which point members of his road crew came out to carry him off. The 44-year-old rocker — whose real name is Brian Hugh Warner — decided not to go a hospital, choosing instead to rest up in his hotel room.

Newly released close-up video footage of Manson collapsing onstage can be seen below.

CRADLE OF FILTH was scheduled to return to the studio last month to resume work on its next project, an orchestral album titled “Midnight In The Labyrinth”, which, according to Davey, will “reinvent” tracks from the band’s first four albums and include “full soundtrack-quality stuff… with choirs, strings and some narration.”Filth wrote in his online update, “All songs will be fully orchestrated akin to a horror movie soundtrack (think Danny Elfman, John Williams, Christopher Young, etc.) and are comprised solely of tracks from our first four releases” — 1996 EP “Vempire Or Dark Faerytales In Phallustein”, 1994’s “The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh”, 1996’s “Dusk… And Her Embrace” and 1998’s “Cruelty And The Beast” — “‘Funeral In Carpathia’ being my favorite conversion thus far.”

CRADLE OF FILTH will embark on its first North American tour since 2009, a headlining run dubbed “FEARnet and Decibel Presents: Creatures From The Black Abyss Tour”, in February. Support on the trek will come from NACHTMYSTIUM, TURISAS and DANIEL LIONEYE.
